DRIVER PLUGIN WRAPPER FOR CONTAINER ORCHESTRATION SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160453 titled 'DRIVER PLUGIN WRAPPER FOR CONTAINER ORCHESTRATION SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for modifying existing driver plugin behavior using a plugin wrapper to enable driver compatibility with an unsupported container deployment model.

  • Intercept allocation requests intended for a driver plugin
  • Modify allocation requests to correspond to specifications of the container deployment model
  • Send the modified request to the driver plugin for resource allocation

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various container orchestration systems to enable compatibility with different container deployment models, expanding the range of supported configurations.

Problems Solved

1. Incompatibility between driver plugins and container deployment models 2. Limitations in resource allocation for containerized applications

Benefits

1. Enhanced flexibility in deploying containerized applications 2. Improved compatibility between driver plugins and container orchestration systems

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing resource allocation in cloud computing environments for diverse container deployment models.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to modifying driver behavior for compatibility with different systems, but specific examples are not provided in this context.

Unanswered Questions

How does the plugin wrapper ensure security when modifying allocation requests?

The article does not delve into the security measures implemented by the plugin wrapper to prevent unauthorized modifications to allocation requests.

What impact does this technology have on overall system performance?

The potential performance implications of introducing a plugin wrapper to modify allocation requests are not discussed in detail.


Original Abstract Submitted

described are techniques for modifying existing driver plugin behavior using a plugin wrapper to enable driver compatibility with an unsupported container deployment model. the techniques include intercepting, by a plugin wrapper operating as part of a container orchestration system, an allocation request intended for a driver plugin, where the allocation request is for allocating a computing resource to a containerized application deployed using a container deployment model not supported by the driver plugin. the techniques further include modifying, by the plugin wrapper, the allocation request to correspond to specifications of the container deployment model, thereby forming a modified request to allocate the computing resource to the containerized application. the techniques further include sending, by the plugin wrapper, the modified request to the driver plugin to allow the driver plugin to allocate the computing resource to the containerized application using the specifications of the container deployment model.
